About
Founded in 1995, Compensation Research is a leading provider of remuneration data and analysis in the UK.
For the past 25 years, we have developed a database of clients who rely on our data analysis for support in designing optimal compensation packages appropriate to their pay markets. We provide data analysis across a range of sectors, including management consultancy, actuarial & investment consulting services, pension scheme administration, life insurance sales and financial planning services.
By focusing on these specialist areas, we are able to work with highly focused and targeted sets of data and can provide more relevant insights into these sectors. We build strong networks with our professional peers in common market areas, which gives us a deeper view of the market and prevailing trends.
We also perform bespoke analyses for our existing clients on request, drilling down into the data in order to provide detailed analysis tailored to our clients’ specific business needs.
